Radical Acceptance

Blasted by shifting sands of denial
thirst for resolution cuts into each breath
We must find the river considered vile
Muds of pain bring escape from dry death

eternal sand dunes fill the landscape
that were never meant for me
My eyes trace my hopes down to escape
a boat of purpose to carry me

waiting on quicksands of acceptance
a battle with myself awaits me
Rolling forward with patience
Making friends with an internal enemy

This way I make claim on my boat
despite discouragement
My thirst will quench as I float
with divine empowerment

As I steer my vision of purpose
into all the plot of life's change to come
I discover good flowing with us
passing quickly what we escape from

Through dangers and spills
the sweet water refreshes
as much as it splatters and chills
giving life to all that flesh is
